Desirable Smith & Wesson Model 686-3 revolver chambered in .357 Magnum, serial number BDA3473, and presented in very good used condition for its age.

The flash-chromed trigger and hammer provide an attractive contrast against the stainless frame. The revolver shows expected signs of handling and use while retaining a strong overall presentation, making it an appealing example of Smith & Wessons classic full-size .357 Magnum target and sporting revolver. Timing and lockup feel in spec. 

The Model 686 is one of Smith & Wessons most recognized L-frame revolvers, developed to provide the durability needed for sustained .357 Magnum use while retaining more manageable proportions than the larger N-frame. The 6-inch configuration with full underlug became particularly popular for target shooting, hunting, and sporting use due to its balance and extended sight radius. The 686-3 represents a well-established period in the models development, and this examples unfluted cylinder, target sights, and contrasting trigger and hammer give it a distinctive and highly attractive configuration.
